Abstract

Transformational leadership has gained a great deal of attention since its development through research and evaluations from James MacGregor Burns and Bernard Bass. But central to its development, there are still uncertainties regarding the attributes and interventions of transformational leadership style in developing nations like Nigeria. Hence, this article presented an integrated datasets on transformational leadership attributes, employee satisfaction and engagement using selected Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) firms in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive research design to establish trends and the quantitative approach was employed using survey questionnaire. A sample size of three hundred and fifty-nine (359) staff and management of sampled firms were selected. Data was analysed with the use of measurement and structural equation modelling and the field data set is made widely accessible to enable critical or a more comprehensive investigation. The findings identified intellectual stimulation (creativity and innovation) and attributed charisma as predictive determinants of transformational leadership attributes for increased satisfaction and engagement of sampled firms. It was recommended that FCMGs firms need to invest necessary resources in developing strategies and interventions to identify differing needs, abilities, and aspirations for staff satisfaction.

2. Experimental Design, Materials and Methods

Based on the definite population sample determination formula stated in the sampling techniques section, a total of 359 copies of questionnaire were planned for distribution. A total of 359 out of 400 staff and leaders of the sampled FCMGs firms participated in the current study, accounting for 89%. The decision to explore the attitudes of both the employees and the management group on transformational leadership attributes, employee satisfaction and engagement was based on the fact that while employees were often in the best position to describe the real attributes of their managers/leaders/supervisors; it is also crucial to investigate these practices from the perceptions of the managers. The data generated through quantitative approach involved the use of structured questionnaire. Overall, the survey instrument has a total of twenty-one 21 questions, divided into two broad sections; Section A (1-6) contains basic socio-demographic questions of age, sex, age, ethnicity, religion etc. while Section B (7-21) covers questions relating to transformational leadership attributes and these items in the questionnaire were adopted based on the works of [3], [7], [8], [9], [10], and [12]. For the purpose of efficiency and thoroughness two field assistants were recruited and trained. The training helped the research assistants to familiarize themselves with the research instrument and objectives of the study before going to the field. This also helped the researcher to make sure that they understand all the questions in the questionnaire, so as to minimize error and enhance the quality of data collected. The training enabled them acquire skills and helped them to effectively interact with the respondents.
